Project Overview
Second hand Shadows is a mobile app concept designed to facilitate the buying and selling of second-hand clothing within alternative subcultures, including Gothic, Metal, Rockabilly, Post-punk, Steampunk, and Gothic Lolita.
While platforms such as Vinted and eBay Kleinanzeigen dominate the second-hand market, they are not tailored to the specific needs, aesthetics, and community culture of alternative fashion. This project addresses that gap by creating a dedicated marketplace that reflects subcultural identity, supports niche discovery, and offers a more relevant and engaging user experience.
- Designed user flows and interface patterns to improve content discoverability
- Translated complex information into clear, user-centred digital experiences
